Hi All
I've got side running lights that dont work. they are wired with scotch connectors from back of side lights I need to get grill off to do the job properly.

If I remember correctly, the whole front chrome fixture has to come of as well, there are generally some plastic "push-in clips" keeping the grill facia on. Lift the bonnet and look across the top and you should see them...be careful theyre very easy to snap...

Thanks Gaz
If you dont know what your doing with trim I find you can do a lot of damage trying to force things . Thats why I thought I'd ask you guys first

Cheers Ron

The clips will break anyway. The part number for them is T90647-12040. They are .60 each and you need 7 to 9 depending on the year

So where can the clips be purchased from, using that part number??

You need to take your side lights off first, 2 screws in each one.

Probably only Toyota.

I tried to remove sidelights they seem to be atached to grill, that is why I was asking about grill removal If I could get sidelights off that would do, to get at the wiring . If you take the two screws out should the light come out .?

Remove the 2 screws and gently wiggle the light till it comes free then remove. you will have the wire attached to the bulb holder.you have to remove sidelights first to get grill off

Like Marky says, they need a wiggle, pull them forwards, to the front of the car. Often they are tight, and you need to lever them forwards with something non-scratchy between the back end of the lens and the fornt wing.

Thanks for that Marky, Had the screws out but it seemed well atached didn't want to force anything . Ill give it a good wiggle.
